→Deleting the Windows Partition from the Disk
The Windows partition can be identified by the filesystem type. In this case the filesystem is of type NTFS (which corresponds to hda1sda1). A FAT filesystem also indicates a Windows partition. The ext3 partition is our current Linux partition. We are now going to delete the Windows partition, but first need to unmount the partition. To do so, right click on the partition, either in the list or in the graphical representation of the partitions and select ''unmount''. Enter your password if prompted to do so. The partition will be unmounted and a mount point will no longer be shown next to the partition in the list.
The next step is to delete the partition. Once again, right click on the partition in the list and select ''Delete''. The delete task will be listed as ''Pending''. To commit the change click on ''Apply'' in the ''GParted'' toolbar.
